Thank you
I didn't know the crabs danced lol the app doesn't show them dancing.


I wanted to ask a question but I don't want it to come across the wrong way.

The app doesn't show the movement?!  

Man, them dancing is the entire point.    I suppose you were wondering why I sent you a bunch of crabs X'D oh boy. 


Then… tell me how you want it to come across? I guess?

Ranmano1fan In reply to raininess [2019-07-18 23:12:12 +0000 UTC]

I closed the app and reloaded it and they still didn't move. Only when viewed through Chrome do they move.
I wasn't wondering, but now that you brought it up, my interest is piqued.

The question was completely independent of the crabs, I thought it being 2 spaces away would show that lol
I didn't want to come across as ungrateful, because I'm not, any birthday greeting from you is appreciated.
And before I even ask I think I can already predict what you'd say, and which I completely understand why.
I'm beating around the bush here, lol, so I'll say it: this is the second year you didn't draw or post something with a mention.

I just thought they looked cute dancing like that, but if they don't move it's just boring. First saw them dancing to this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwSsT8…

hahaha, I didn't think the question had to do with the crabs though. XD Why would I think that? 

There wasn't any mean intend behind it, if you think that was in order to distance myself from you that wasn't the case at all. 
I mean, you used to comment on almost everything I uploaded and when that faded out I didn't think it meant anything. Sometimes there's just nothing that comes to mind.
Last year I uploaded a bunny girl on your birthday and hoped you'd like it. I didn't put you in the description because while I focused my energy on getting it done in time it wasn't anything fanart related and I think I even sketched it before I knew you, so putting "yeah, I drew that  specifically for you" would have been a lie. Plus going directly to your page is more personal to begin with.
And this year… I didn't have anything prepared and didn't just wanna throw some shit together lastminute either and hoped you wouldn't be too disappointed with just a "happy birthday". 
I'm just a little burned out at times, doesn't mean I don't care. There's a good friend who's been wanting to meet up again for over a year and I only wrote back to her this morning. And there's a second one I yet have to reply to. I feel bad about it and the longer I wait the bigger my anxiety about it grows, but... I don't have the mental energy gathered yet. Same with drawing. If I just doodle it's fine, but if I need to worry about "What should I draw for them? I can't draw that at all. It won't be good enough." it's so stressful. 
I'm sorry if you thought I did that with some deeper meaning in mind.

Hahaha nice video.
They do look cute dancing like that, but yeah if they don't move it's boring.
And to top it off none of it had anything to do with the crab being connected to the astrological sign I was born under, lol

I had 3 trains of thought on the matter:
1) no time/couldn't get it done in time
2) no idea what to draw
3) didn't want to make me feel obligated to do something in return
It appears it was kind of a combination of 1 and 2.
For one thing I'd never think you'd want to distance yourself from me unless you tell me directly, I don't think you'd have the heart to just stop talking to me.
Yeah I used to comment on everything, but that was because I had an internet connection on my laptop and could sit there and scroll through dA easier. It's slightly harder to do that on a phone. It's even gotten to the point where I'm not posting anything myself.
Yeah I have posted like one or two things, but I had to really force myself to sit down and type it all out with my fat fingers on my phone.
I didn't even know you posted the bunny girl last year, I'm really sorry to not have noticed and yeah I wouldn't want you to lie like that.
I agree it is more personal that way and love that you do that, I don't get many these days and I know yours means more than someone just posting it on facebook.
Very true, I wouldn't want you to have to rush or throw something together just for my sake. And if you ever felt like you had to and put more stress on yourself to do it, it would just make me feel horrible for having done that to you.
Being burned out sucks, I completely understand what it feels like, I hope things look up for you. Anxiety sucks too.
It's better we cleared it up now than having either of us misinterpreting our lack of communication.

O_O Now that you mention it. Damn, I'm not even sure if I did that subconsciously or if it was a lucky coincidence. Can't usually remember zodiacs, but I know you're Cancer since it's the same as Usagi's sign. 

Yeah, you would have to REALLY mess up if I just stopped replying completely. (You're probably used to late replies from me though )

Ah yes, phone typing… I believe I have comparably small fingers, but even I have issue with those tiny buttons. I don't type there often, but I sometimes use the memo thing to write down notes for stories and such when I'm not on my laptop. It's such a pain and I can't write efficiently like that. 

Glad you understand. Drawing is heavily emotion-based for me which is why there's no consistency in what I put out. Sometimes I want to draw something, but there's that wall I can't get over. Of course I can just pick up a pencil and draw some lines, but I don't wanna share something I'm not satisfied with. 
Sheesh, I have so many projects on hold because there's that mental wall and I end up watching stuff on the internet instead creating my own. It always feels like I'm neglecting my babies. I mean, for some of my projects it's like I walked out on them a decade ago… If they aren't dead by now I surely am dead to them.

True. Which is why I wanted you to tell me what's on your mind instead of both of us being paranoid about it.

Depends on what kind of damage, the sword would probably cause more property damage while her cooking would do more physical damage

no no, I've read the father one quite a while back. There was a little more added, like showing that Gin and San got together. I'd link you the mangafox pages, but that was the website that doesn't work for you, right? Though I think the other websites will have it as well? Maybe you find it, if not I'll go look if I find it on a different website.

*check 2 other manga sites* Oh I think I found it on EatManga.com.
Aww too bad Gin doesn't end up with Kurumu
Haiji and Kokoa yeeeeah they have no clue what "going out" means
Yukai and Fong-Fong yeah saw that one coming I really want to see Yukari's face in that panel!!
It's nice the sisters can get along now.
Kiria is a bit.... strange...
hahahaha Kurumu and Mizore's wild idea.... of course it wouldn't pan out, but Moka's reply is a bit surprising lol, ah that last panel is exactly what I thought would happen.
Nice to see it kinda all sewn up, but still feel like there is so much more that could be done.

RainyMoments In reply to Ranmano1fan [2015-11-24 15:24:55 +0000 UTC]

I know, right? I thought for sure Gin-Kurumu would be a thing. I mean, they hinted at it so many times. Well, at least she was mentioned there, so these moments were acknowledged. And admittedly it's cute that Gin acts unusually innocent around San. 

hahaha, yeah but I guess Haiji and Kokoa will figure it out at SOME point. 

Yup, Yukari and Fang² was quite obvious to happen, especially after their great team work being shown. Then again, I also thought Kurumu-Gin was obvious, so what do I know, lol. 

Gosh, yes. I'm so glad the sister got a happy ending. 

Uh-huh, it's great when things get wrapped up in the end, even if it's just scraping the surface. Some stories end right after the climax and that always makes me feel like something's missing. Of course it's not as bad as an open ending, but it still feels unfinished if I don't learn about everyone's future path.

To be fair, she doesn't have that big of a role and main characters are bound to get more fanart. 

Ah, so you'll go "bug hunting" once the beta version comes out, lol. Have you decided who to play jet? I looked at the designs and personally I find Mei the easiest to identify with. lol, she kinda looks like a water bender.

True, Tio and Zombina seem to be the favorite MON girls of the fans. Have you had a chance to read the last new chapter and the one just released a few days ago(Lala gets her own chapter)?

If I join yeah, but I just want to play the game before it comes out for everyone. Make me feel special that I get to play before everyone else. "jet"?(I know the y and j keys are close together, lol)
I wanna play as Tracer, she looks like a lot of fun. Mei's a fairly new character added into the game, it originally only had 12 characters, but now it's up to 20. It's funny you like Mei, she's gotten quite a following despite being new. I think it has to do with the fact her outfit makes it appear as though she is well-endowed if not a bit curvy.

RainyMoments In reply to Ranmano1fan [2015-12-05 20:52:52 +0000 UTC]

And that despite Manako being best MON girl...   

Haven't read it in a while, I intend to catch up soon though. 

lol, not exactly to be honest. You're talking about the English keyboard where Y is in the upper row. On the German keyboard Y is in the bottom row on the very left, so nowhere close to J. So it was just a brain fuck-up that the spell check didn't pick up for obvious reasons. Although maybe later on they'll add a character called Jet that you can play as and we can call it fortune telling.

Wait, Tracer was a dude? *looks again* hahaha, ah yes the name says Lena. pffft, when I saw the thumbnail yesterday I thought "oh, that guy looks kinda cool" then I looked at the full character and saw the tight orange outfit and  O__O "The fuck is he wearing?!" lol well, Tracer being a girl makes the outfit choice a little more acceptable.

oh, she got that many fans already? I expected the slimmer girls to get more attention. hahaha, yeah she has to be curvy unless her clothes are REALLY stuffed. Personally I really dig the fluffy outfit and the huge boots are adorable. Plus blue is a nice color and she looks a lot gentler than the others (which makes sense considering she's defense).

Cool. T-Rex has been updated too, but not in the last month. And it was announced today that She's a T-Rex will be translated and published in English.

I never knew a keyboard could be different depending on the country you're in.

It's set in the future so it might be hard to tell some of the characters' gender.

True, the slimmer girls have their fans and the x-rated fanart, but so does the curvy cutie.
When you look at the outfit's sleeves, it does look like there may be a bit of stuffing inside. And there is the fact that she comes from a very frozen part of the world too.
You can do a dA search and see like 3 pages of fanart and the body type ranges but mostly they say she's curvy www.deviantart.com/browse/all/…

Got a few days off around Christmas, so I'll try to catch up with that as well. I mean, I could flip through it earlier of course, but I don't like to "junk food" fictional works, it's nicer to take the time to take it in. Plus otherwise it's disrespectful towards the artist as well.

It's only a few keys that are different. There's a key combo that automatically changes it to English key placement that I've accidentally hit more than once and to this day I haven't managed to memorize it, so each time it happens I have google how to switch it back. There also are chats that assume your keyboard is English, so the letter you press won't always be the letter that's on screen. The keys are meant to be arranged so that the letters you need most are in a convenient position, I think that's why you have the Y in the top row and I have it at the bottom. There are little to none German words that have a Y. From the top of my head I can only think of "Xylophon". 

Yeah, genders can be hard to tell (unless you read the description that uses a gender defining pronoun )

One would also have to take into account that the more you slim her down fat-wise the more you'd have to add muscle mass for her to be able to move around in that outfit.
